What is the required mileage for the timed driving test (Subject 3)?
2 Answers
The minimum required mileage for the timed driving test (Subject 3) must not be less than 300 kilometers. Here are the specific details: 1. Training hours: The "Road Driving Skills and Safe & Civilized Driving Knowledge" section of Subject 3 requires 16 training hours, while the actual operation of road driving skills requires 24 training hours. Combined with the other two subjects, the total practical training time reaches 48 hours. 2. Subject 3: Subject 3 primarily focuses on mastering safe and civilized driving knowledge, developing comprehensive vehicle control abilities, understanding the dynamic characteristics of pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles, and methods for predicting and analyzing hazards. It also emphasizes proficiency in general road and nighttime driving techniques, enabling safe driving under various road traffic conditions. The goal is to cultivate the ability to consciously comply with traffic regulations, effectively handle random traffic situations, and unconsciously operate the vehicle rationally.
The timing requirements for Subject Three vary significantly across regions, but the basic logic is to ensure that trainees receive adequate practice. Based on my experience, most provinces now require a total training mileage of no less than 300 kilometers. Special attention should be paid to night driving, as many areas stipulate that nighttime mileage must not be less than 30-50 kilometers. I remember when I was training, my instructor always emphasized that the GPS system recorded the mileage throughout the entire session. Recently, I heard from some trainees that certain driving schools even require each training session to last at least 15 minutes before the effective duration starts counting. It's best to ask your own driving instructor for specifics, as implementation details may vary slightly by city, but the 300-kilometer benchmark is generally nationwide.
